Product Description
Dante's Inferno X360
Amazon.com Product Description
Dante’s Inferno is an epic single player, third-person action adventure game inspired by "Inferno", part one of Dante Alighieri’s classic Italian poem, "The Divine Comedy." Featuring nonstop action rendered at 60 frames-per-second, signature and upgradable weapons, attack combos and mana-fueled spells and the choice of punishing or absolving the souls of defeated enemies, it is a classic Medieval tale of the eternal conflict with sin and the resulting horrors of hell, adapted for a new generation and a new medium. Story
The Italian mercenary Dante returns home from the bloodletting that was the Third Crusade to two pieces of soul-crushing news. The first is that although he was assured that he was absolved of mortal sins committed in the form of wartime atrocities in the name of the churches interests in the Holy Land, that is not actually the case and his immortal soul is in grave peril. The second and more terrible is that his beloved Beatrice has been murdered, and her soul pulled down into hell by a dark force. Vowing not to accept the damnation of either souls, he gives chase, vows to get Beatrice back and descends into the infamous nine circles of hell. For weapons, he wields Death's soul-reaping scythe, and commands holy powers of the cross, given to him by Beatrice. 
Go to hell with Dante's Inferno.
View larger. | Scythe Combat
To vanquish the foes you encounter on your journey through the hell of Dante's Inferno, you must learn to wield Death's Scythe with precision and deadly force. Mix light attacks with heavy attacks to create combos, then incorporate jumps and grabs to add another layer to your combat. With dodging and Holy Cross moves thrown into the mix, you can truly become a force to be reckoned with. Without using all of your combative skills and techniques, there is no hope of ever reaching Beatrice. Holy Powers
During your journey, you may collect magic abilities for use against the legions of hell. When you perform the Righteous Path power you make a dash attack and leave a trail of icy shards in your wake. With Martyrdom you sacrifice health and mana to deal a heavy amount of damage to surrounding enemies. Divine Armor regenerates your health and protects you from damage. Add these and other powers to your arsenal to vanquish all who stand in your way and when you need to replenish your mana-fueled abilities, visit the Holy Fountains scattered throughout the gameplay area. Creature Taming
As powerful as weapons and magic are, sometimes surviving the perils of hell requires brute force. With the power of Death's Scythe, you are able to mount the beasts of hell and use them against your enemies. All of this, however, requires ridding the beast of its current rider first. If successful, you will become the beast’s new master. Now use its awesome power to pulverize enemies and complete tasks that require a beast's strength. Key Game Features - Epic story adapted from the first book of the Medieval Italian classic The Divine Comedy, by Dante Alighieri.
- Nonstop action as you fight through Dante's allegorical nine circles of hell.
- Wield the power of Death's soul-reaping scythe.
- Beautiful fast-paced action and intense combat rendered at 60 frames-per-second.
- Choice-based finishes with enemies that allow players to punish the damned, or absolve them as they are defeated.

Guillermo (usa)
I'm glad microsoft bring this game similar to god o war from ps2 and 3. the game play is close to gow series play but with minor backwards not big deal is just when you die you start from a little back from the action isnted of the gow when you die you star right from were you die. but still lots of fun I recomended this game to all those god of war gamers.
 nice game but not great July 18, 2010

This game starts off strong but gets repetitive after five hours. The scenary gives you the feel of hell. The gameplay is rough at times and can get annoying because of control delays. If you can get it for $20 then its worth it.
Nice Attempt, Huge Potential LIST OF PROS AND CONS And MORE July 13, 2010
Nathan T. (SOMEWHERE)
3.5/5
Is this game worth buying? Yes. However, I'm much more critical than most other reviewers so bare with me. This game is basically a knock off of GoW. You're probably like "oh not this again". But it's too obvious to not mention it. Even though it still does not hold a candle next to the awesome and epicness of GoW, even the first one, it has a lot of potential I am very anxious to see.
Similarities with GoW aka God of War series:
1. Doing special moves by pressing multiple buttons OR mashing one button.
2. Certain action sequence is extremely similar. Example would be the slow motion grappling scenes, those that play GoW should be very familiar.
3. Enemies releasing orbs of energy that gets absorbed by the heroine who is his own worse enemy.
4. The gameplay in general, if you play GoW and this, you'll feel like this is the chinese knocked off version. It's good, but not there yet.
Before I give pros and cons, here are some general advice to play this game:
1. ALWAYS remember to talk to Virgil (your little shade helper, the blue guy that follows you around). Remember to talk to him completely whenever you see him. He sometime gives you stuff like relics.
2. Absolving the damned is good for souls because you get to play the mini game. Punishing will only grant you +600 experience to. They both grant you an automatic +600 experience to unholy or holy. Absolving goes to holy and punishing goes to unholy.
3. Unholy makes the scythe more powerful in terms of adding more scythe skills and holy makes the cross more powerful in that you get more powerful moves for the cross.
4. Some magics I found very useful: Sins of the Father, divine armor, righteous path. Martyrdom is very powerful but is boring to use.
5. All scythe skills are pretty useful, best get as many as you want and use them in a mix bag. There's no dud in this skill, only depend on your own personal gameplay type.
6. Divine armor level 3 magic combine with ciacco's bile relic found after absolving or punishing clodia and talking to Virgil makes this game a cake walk even in the hardest difficulty.
7. Remember to get all of the mana and health increase upgrades as you see fit. The tier 6 and 7 mana and health regens are very useful too.
8. When you press the B button to shoot your cross, max out the skill so you can shoot more. It's the one on the left most side on the holy side, I forgot what it is called.
9. You can open up two more relic slots, each located on the unholy and holy side. Do so.
PROS:
1. Since it is an adaptation of GoW for the xbox 360, and GoW happens to be extremely successful, the gameplay therefore is similarly addictive. Not as good, but similar.
2. Graphics are pretty decent, but still gets beaten by the PS2 versions of GoW and GoW2.
3. I really love the whole setting of hell, again, I'm really anxious to see much improvements to the point where it can closely be more comparable to GoW.
4. I hear some complaints about how short this game is. If you're new it would take you about 9 hours and if you know what you're doing probably 6. However, good things should be left short and to the point. I'm glad it didn't drag on.
5. A lot of check and save points. Don't believe otherwise, they can't possibly add more checkpoints to this game. They might move it so it is more convenient for you, but no game is perfect.
CONS:
1. Button mashing or patterns are always the same. That means it gets a bit old. I believe in GoW there are some slight randomness so that the next time you get a special event or attack, you have to look at the screen and make sure you press or mash the right buttons.
2. They need to increase the beast riding awesomeness in this game. There's only a few scenes where you can ride some sort of monstrosity and most of the time it is very limited or the role is very limited aka three or so types of boring attacks and not enough action and explosion.
3. More outrageous scenes. If this is the adaptation of GoW, they have to at least attempt to match it if not beat it in order to succeed.
4. If you've ever watched the movie, the story adaptation for the game is not as smooth and acceptable. Acceptable means giving the gamer something that has more meaning and has more definition. Watch the movie, then watch the game. The game is very similar to the movie, just that the storyline is not as well entwined and feels a bit choppy and not as satisfying.
5. More weapon choice. Dante only gets 2 weapons and it gets a bit stale.
6. I'm alright with the graphics, but I expect much improvements. I've seen paintings and pictures of hell that scared me more. Hands moving around under the water isn't scary, especially with people that have cable TV. More with area interaction, find the most messed up people in the world and ask them for ideas.
7. There are some commentaries on the artwork of this game, but personally I think the whole baby with the blade for arms is a lame and pathetic attempt. I remember the "making the baby" commentary, I would not accept credibility for such a lame design and concept art. Let's get a baby and chop off the arm and connect blades to there and make it look creepier! People that are phrased for such mediocre attempts are a good example of our society endorsing mediocrity. You do not have to turn to a professional to get an idea like that... most of the artwork in terms of monsters in this game is alright at best.
8. When there's multiple enemies around you, especially air and land combination, trying to hit a specific target is difficult since it is on auto targeting in a general direction and you can't really aim.
9. Magic attacks don't seem to have a secondary purpose other than the use for combat. Secondary purpose such as using it to help you overcome an obstacle that would otherwise be impossible without using certain magics. Other than divine armor for health regeneration, no other magic seems especially necessary, they're just there.
10. Limit in magic use. I find even with ciacco's bile (mana regen relic) that without all of the mana upgrades, you find yourself very limited in the amounts of time you're able to cast magic. Even with max mana upgrades and points in tier 6 and 7 mana and health skills, I still find myself continuously attempting to conserve my mana and never really enjoy using magic to a degree of satisfaction....I'm just always running out of it.
Does this game have a good re-playability rating? I would think so. Unlike what some people say, some of the cutscenes are skippable if you press some buttons. It still has a far ways to go, but I hope I'll be there when it meets my expectations. It still feels like a flimsy knock off
"God of War" for the Xbox 360 July 10, 2010

I bought this game cause I have an Xbox 360 and I loved the God of War series. I knew from the start it was a TOTAL RIP-OFF, but since it was ripping of an amazing series I thought it would still be a worthwhile buy. I wasn't disappointed. The game is definitely a good hack n slash, but it unfortunately suffers from a lot of bad design choices. Overall it was an enjoyable ride though.
Pros:
- Hell is very well designed with plenty of disturbing images that will both freak you out as well as add to the atmosphere
- Schythe combos look really cool and don't require complicated button combinations
- The story is very dramatic and well told, the tale of redemption really hits home at the end
- Great musical score and the sounds of the damned might just be the MOST DISTURBING THING I'VE EVER HEARD IN A GAME
- Well scripted dialogue goes well with the medieval theme
- Epic boss battles :)
Cons:
- Blocking is not fast enough to ward off normal enemy attacks
- Lust witches are extremely annoying, as well as hard to kill
- On the short side (about 10 hours)
- On the 3rd or 4th circle of hell there is a HORRIBLY DESIGNED puzzle
- No replay value at all
- The overall look of the main character is a bit ridiculous (why would someone sew a giant red cross on their chest?)

I bougth this game because its enviroment looks interesting a fun for a videogame. I realize that the sounds is pretty good, but there are something i dont like: the babys sound is not adecuate, also this kind of "enemy", please as soon as you notice them you laught more than shock for the bizarre idea, really looks like an extreme character that could be done more accurated using other demoniac foes....very sad and lack of terror are those robot-babys (because they came with knifes instead of arms,it reminds me robocop but for kids meassure, i notice the same observation with other foes, like the fat-thing in the gluttony level... it can be worse? again, using the hell as enviroment, EA could do a major effort to produce some mature and serious material... and this is very important, because if you're using a hell universe you get a lot of options to make a serious, terror, dramatic and epic history and a fun game also!!! sometimes looks boring doing the same thing and the enemys are not terrorific or thriller, well only the demons, but for example, the badgirls in the sex level is pretty like a porn bizarre scene when attack: she open their legs and appear a long tentacle from their vaginas, just imagine that, i think i could do better than that guarantee...another fail enemys: the flying aliens,this creatures are more for an Extraterrestrial adventure and its so easy to break down that its seems useless...overall 2.5/5.0
